The property was in great condition and was well equipped with everything we needed for the duration of our stay. A couple of local stores ensured we had easy access to buy provisions. Two dog friendly pubs within a 5 minute walk. Great walks around the area kept the dogs exercised.

Short stop in Wheaton Aston
Whilst walking the "Staffordshire Way" we needed an overnight stay, the Bowling Green Cottage was perfect, the house is fantastic and Debbie the host was incredibly helpful.
